Leadership Message

A Message from CREDA Leadership

After joining CREDA NJ more than a year ago, the CREDA NJ Board of Trustees authorized me to commission a comprehensive organizational assessment of your chapter. This assessment sought to:

  • Gauge perception of CREDA NJ at this moment in time – what it does well and ways to increase impact and value,
  • Establish a shared understanding of CREDA NJ’s current state across staff, members, and stakeholders, and
  • Use these insights to inform the chapter’s priorities over the next three years.
